Are American colleges hurting Americans by so many international students?

The problem comes when the funding comes from adversarial countries and/or those that have their own agenda regarding America. A prime example is all the Arab money - primarily from Qatar - that is purchasing influence at the Ivies.

At NYU, or maybe Columbia….can’t remember which….they handed out an anti-Israel pamphlet at freshmen orientation to begin the brainwashing the very first weekend.

Not sure where you've been. I've seen anti-Zionist activism since the 1980s when I went to college.

The reality is the Arabs have taken money out of this country and now we need them to put it back.

You mean he’s discouraged pro-Palestinian students like the Syrian HAMAS supporter to come here? I can only hope.

Lisa's mortal fear is that Americans will hear the other side of the Zionist/Palestine conflict.

That’s some scary stuff. I do notice that when I am at the shopping mall, or as it happens visiting a loved one in the hospital, there is a very small minority of whites. At the hospital, it was even more pronounced. I didn’t see a single white staffer - doctor, nurse, or support staff.

Because white people don't want to clean out bedpans.

I do a lot of resumes for medical specialties. The vast majority of them are people of color and the few that aren't are European immigrants.
 
Fine with me. Let’s get back to encouraging our brightest and most capable to reach their potential - rather than hold them back to be more fair to the weaker students - and we can get smart Americans to take the spots.

So does that mean getting rid of legacies and athletic scholarships and dean's interest admissions, and just going on merit and merit alone?

That would probably mean more foreigners, not less.
 
Because they receive federal funding, which we pay for via taxes.

Also, since when did merit become such an important criteria for college entrance for lefties? Now you aren’t in favor of DEI and want to admit only the best and brightest? Which is it?

Actually, it's kind of the opposite. Foreign students pay their own way and they often pay more.

For instance, at UIC, in-state tuition is $14,000 for IL residents, but for out-of-state residents (including those foreign students) the tuition is $29,000 a year. It's FAR more profitable to admit those foreign students.

Using Harvard as an example, tuition is actually a small amount compared to their federal assistance. If every Harvard student paid full tuition, which they don’t, that would amount to about 1.8 billion. The reality is that it is quite a bit less than that due to financial assistance.

Joeb131 will always support the Arab bigots. No matter if it's grandchildren of Arab immigrants who are called tlday as "palestiniabs" or those that come over here [like Hatem Bazian's SJP, etc.] bring their Hitlerism.

Harvard is getting paid for services rendered such as R&D.

They just aren't getting bags full of money.

This is the problem when you let Bible Thumpers run the government, they don't understand the importance of science and research.

The Chinese are investing in it, we are giving tax cuts to billionaires.

Then people like you will whine the Chinese are being "unfair" when they beat us at our own game.
 
The numbers are staggering. NYU is about 50% foreign, and Ivies like Columbia and Harvard - with major antisemitism problems and a lot of Arab funding - are about 25%.

Given 1) how many of these foreigners hate the country and oppose its foreign policies and 2) how difficult it is for Americans, especially whites of middle class backgrounds, to get in, isn’t this unfair to our nation’s youth?

The future is global. Get used to it.

He’s an antisemite, and I have him on ignore.

YUSUF joeb131, (that guilty-fakestine self-inflicted subject)

Uh, guy, Hitler's original plan was to dump Europe's Jews into Palestine.

Concentration camps were plan B when the British realized that Arabs didn't want them, either.
 
Also proof that the anti-Israel crowd are rabid Jew-haters.
Unless they will start protesting AS STRONGLY against Arab supremacist carrying out TRUE GENOCIDE in Sudan... or against Hamas regime causing the deaths in Gaza

Which of course they won't..
Case closed.
 
Jihadiphobia is bad?

Islamophobia is.

We don't have a problem with the Islamic World because of their religion. All religion is kind of stupid.

We have a problem with them because of our imperialist policies. Supporting Israel, propping up bad governments, and arming bad actors then acting all surprised when they turn on us (Saddam, Bin Laden).

We need to treat the entire Middle East like it's off limits. Take the money we spend propping up the Zionists and playing Hall Monitor over there and invest it in alternative energy.

The Chinese are investing in stealing our technology. You are lost.
